Chapter 4: The Missing Child

Shang Yucheng's eyes looked out the window quietly.

It was completely dark, and she couldn't see much through the window, but she didn't mean to turn her head.

She was afraid that her expression would betray her.

Although she has now learned to control everything that may be revealed, such as eyes, emotions, and even every subconscious action and habit, but at this time, when she is nervous and longing, she still does not dare to face others, especially a shrewd person like Shu Qiang.

After four years, how much can that doctor remember? Could it be that he simply forgot what happened back then? If he really remembers, will he know the whereabouts of the child?

Shang Yucheng's heart seemed to be surging with infinite hope for a while, but the next second it was full of fear - if there was no news of the child this time, how long would he have to wait?

She closed her eyes and couldn't help but think of her mother's stubborn eyes when she was dying, "Mom is also for you, in this troubled world, what can my mother do as a woman?" ”

Until that moment, she knew that the baby boy was not born and died, and he was still alive and well! He's alive!

Shang Yucheng closed her eyes, trying to find some memories of the child, but she only looked at it so much back then, what could she remember?

"Miss Shang, drink some water."

Shu Qiang handed the water cup to Shang Yucheng.

Shang Yucheng heard the voice and turned his head to look at Shu Qiang, "Thank you." ”

Shu Qiang replied politely, and looked outside with Shang Yucheng's eyes, "There's still an hour to go, Miss Shang is tired, right?" He smiled, "I'm in a hurry today, I don't have time to book a hotel for Miss Shang, I have a distant cousin in Jiaxing, I will be wronged by Miss Shang tonight, if it goes well tomorrow, I can go back to Shanghai before dinner." ”

Shang Yucheng nodded slightly and smiled lightly, "Thank you Mr. Shu for arranging it so thoroughly." ”

Shu Qiang smiled, sat down opposite Shang Yucheng, picked up the book that was placed aside, and continued to read.

An hour passed quickly, and when he arrived in Jiaxing, Shu Qiang really arranged Shang Yucheng to live at his cousin's house, Shu Qiang's cousin Mrs. Qin was a kind fat woman, Shang Yucheng saw that she was already wearing pajamas, and he expected to sleep and deliberately got up to greet himself, and he was a little reluctant to go, so he took out twenty yuan and stuffed it to her, and then returned to the room with peace of mind.

Lying on the bed, Shang Yucheng couldn't help but think of that snowy night again, the unbearable pain made her not feel cold at all, but sweat was like rain, such pain made her desperate.

As the sky dawned, Shang Yucheng got up from the bed and washed up briefly. Hearing Mrs. Qin's voice coming from the living room, she went downstairs.

Seeing Shang Yucheng, Mrs. Qin smiled and beckoned her to sit down for breakfast, "Ah Qiang went out early in the morning, he asked me to tell Miss Shang, and when he comes back, he will accompany you there." ”

"Got it, thank you, Mrs. Qin." Shang Yucheng thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Shu said when he will come back?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Shu Qiang walked in from outside, "Miss Shang." ”

"Coming back?" When Mrs. Qin saw Shu Qiang coming in, she smiled and blamed, "Sit down and eat something." I went out before dawn, and I didn't know what was so anxious. ”

Shu Qiang only replied briefly and didn't eat. turned to Shang Yucheng and said, "Miss Shang, let's leave early after you finish eating." ”

Shang Yucheng couldn't wait for a moment, hurriedly said goodbye to Mrs. Qin, and went out with Shu Qiang.

"Dr. Chen lives in the front yard."

After walking a short distance, Shu Qiang stopped, pointed to a decently cleaned yard not far in front of him, and said.

Shang Yucheng also stopped, glanced at the room, and his heart pounded.

She was desperate to see the doctor and to know the whereabouts of the child. However, she was even more afraid that it would be an even greater loss.

After hesitating for a long time, Shu Qiang couldn't help but urge: "Miss Shang, let's go." ”

Shang Yucheng nodded lightly, followed behind Shu Qiang, and walked towards the house.

Doctor Chen was a white-haired old man, and after listening to the intentions of Shang Yucheng and the others, he thought for a while and said, "I don't have any impression of this Miss Su you are talking about. However, four years ago, on Chinese New Year's Eve, my diagnosis treated a young woman who had a difficult birth, but I didn't know if it was the person I was looking for. ”

"If it's the Mercy Hospital, that's right." Shu Qiang replied with a smile.

Doctor Chen looked at Shang Yucheng and asked cautiously, "I don't know who the young lady is a patient?" ”

Shu Qiang didn't know this question, and he couldn't help but look at Shang Yucheng as well.

Shang Yucheng's expression was faint, "I was entrusted by Miss Su on her deathbed to find the child back then, speaking of which, I only had a few encounters with Miss Su." ”

"Miss Su is dead?" Shu Qiang lost his voice in surprise.

Shang Yucheng nodded lightly, indeed, there has long been no such person as Su Jingyao in the world.

"Miss Su and her mother passed away one after another, so she entrusted me to find the child." Shang Yucheng looked at Dr. Chen calmly, "This is the last wish of her and her mother, if you know the whereabouts of the child, I implore you to fulfill it." ”

Shang Yucheng took out a bulging envelope from the leather bag in his hand, put it on the table and pushed it in front of Dr. Chen.

Dr. Chen glanced at the thick envelope and sighed solemnly, "Since the patient asked two of them to find him, he must know that the child did not die young." But I don't know where that kid is now. ”

Dr. Chen frowned, and said slowly while recalling: "The young lady had a heavy hemorrhage after giving birth to the little son, and her condition was very critical, and she was rescued in the operating room for a day before she was out of danger, and the child was very healthy at that time, so the hospital handed the child over to the patient's family to take care of." The next day, I heard that the child was gone, and I don't know what happened. ”

Shang Yucheng's heart sank little by little.

Doctor Chen glanced at Shang Yucheng and sighed softly.

Seeing this, Shu Qiang hurriedly asked, "Do you still remember what happened next to you?" ”

Dr. Chen hesitated for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "I remember hearing people say that the young lady was pregnant because she was killed by a gangster, so I'm afraid no one will ask more about this child." Now that Miss Su's family has also passed away, this childβ€”" Dr. Chen shook his head, "I'm afraid it's hard to find." ”

Shang Yucheng's heart ached, and he almost collapsed uncontrollably, unable to speak.

She didn't know how to say goodbye and went out the door, and it wasn't until she sat in a humble breakfast shop with a bowl of steaming noodles in front of her that she regained consciousness again.

"In addition to Dr. Chen, there are several other doctors and nurses who may know about it, and I will continue to investigate." Shu Qiang said a little vaguely while eating the noodles.

Shang Yucheng nodded, picked up the chopsticks expressionlessly, and looked up at Shu Qiang, "Miss Su is from Shanghai, why did she come to Jiaxing to be hospitalized and give birth?" ”

Shu Qiang paused and put down his chopsticks, "I remember when Miss Shang first found me, she told me that it was Miss Su who asked you to come to me. ”

Shang Yucheng nodded, "Miss Su said that you are a person who can be trusted. ”

Shu Qiang smiled bitterly when he heard this, "It's a pity that I didn't help her." ”

His eyes drifted a little farther away, "She's a good girl." ”

Shang Yucheng looked at him and didn't speak.

"After Miss Su's accident, there were a lot of rumors. Her nurse is from Jiaxing, and I think she came here to avoid those gossips. ”

After Shu Qiang finished speaking, he frowned slightly thoughtfully.

Zhao's mother, a nurse, lived with her mother in Shanghai after she went to the United States, and died of illness just a year later. If, according to Dr. Chen, the child was handed over to the care of the family at that time, it is likely that under the instruction of the mother, Zhao's mother, who knows Jiaxing very well, arranged the child's whereabouts.

Shang Yucheng glanced at him and made sure that he had received his hint and was interested in Zhao's mother, so he lowered his head and ate noodles.

In the afternoon, Shang Yucheng and Shu Qiang returned to Shanghai. Refusing Shu Qiang's escort, Shang Yucheng returned to the hotel alone.

As soon as I settled in, the phone rang suddenly. Shang Yucheng picked up the phone, and Lu Jingcheng's worried voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Yucheng, you're finally back. Why did you go so suddenly yesterday? I received a message and called you again, and there was no news of you. ”

"I'm sorry Jingcheng." Shang Yucheng said with a reassuring tone, "Mrs. Shen suddenly fell ill, and I had to go and see it." Shang Yucheng glanced up at the wall clock and said with a smile, "Let you worry about me, how about I invite you to dinner to compensate you?" ”

"That's a good idea, leave your invitation for tomorrow. I have a party today, how about you go with me? ”

Shang Yucheng agreed, and hung up the phone after an appointment.

After a few hours on the train, Shang Yucheng felt a little tired, she quickly took a shower and changed her clothes, lay on the bed and rested for a while, then got up and put on makeup, and just cleaned herself up, the doorbell rang.

Shang Yucheng looked at himself in the mirror carefully, and felt that his tired expression had gone a lot, before he got up and opened the door.

Lu Jingcheng has always been well-dressed, and the fashionable suits and leather shoes are specially ordered from France, and the price is very expensive.

At this time, he was holding a bouquet of roses in his hand, and he was full of gentlemanly style.

"Take this bouquet, beautiful young lady, though it will be eclipsed before youβ€”"

Shang Yucheng couldn't help but smile and took the rose, "Thank you for being so sweet." I don't know what happened to Young Master Lu? ”

Lu Jingcheng put his hands in his pockets, and his face was proud, "It's indeed a good thing, but let me sell it." ”

He put his arms around Shang Yucheng's waist, "Mrs. Shen, have you taken care of it?" ”

Shang Yucheng nodded, "She's much better." ”

"If you have anything to do in the future, you should contact me at any time. Save me from worrying about you. ”

Shang Yucheng responded obediently, "Okay." ”

"Besides, I've found a house for you." Lu Jingcheng smiled and said, "It's not far from my home, although it is simple, it is more convenient and comfortable than staying in a hotel." How about going and see tomorrow? ”

Shang Yucheng originally asked Shu Qiang to find a house for her, and she was not far from the Lu family, as long as she stood in front of the window, she could clearly see the Lu family coming in and out.

Since Lu Jingcheng also found a place, Shang Yucheng couldn't even look at it, so he agreed. The two went out together and drove out of the hotel.
